Research summary

Klaus Lorenz studies how soil is managed and used to store carbon, focusing on comparing organic and conventional farming practices, cover crops, conservation tillage, and agroforestry (mixing trees with crops). This work relates to broader questions about reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and tracking soil health for global sustainability goals. Much of the research combines data synthesis (reviewing and comparing many existing studies) with book chapters and reports on soil carbon and organic agriculture.
